It is normal for the battery drain fast (2 or 3% per hour) with this version (Marshmallow) even with the battery saver on, with sensors off, with automatic brightness off, with mobile data and WiFi off, with the location off and in the background too, etc, or just me who have this problem?
I have root with the greenify installed and amplify battery.
Hi,
Try by doing a factory reset of your phone. I've found that if you do that, the parameters will go to normal and normally, no battery drain.

Do a factory reset and check if the meter is showing wrong.
Get the help of BBS or GDM PRO

That's bizarre. Have you tried factory reset + flushing dalvik + cache ?

"Android System" keeping phone awake 24/7, draining battery life- T-Mobile Z3
I startes noticing that even after quite a few charge cycles, I'm still getting 4-5 hours of SoT over less than 24 hours. The phone is awake 24/7, and Android System seems to be the cause, but no idea why. Does anybody have any suggestions? I've attached some screenshots.
Factory reset?
Sent from my Z3
Maybe you have some apps causing wakelocks, showing through Android system? My dad had massive data usage from Youtube which confused me until I uninstalled an app that used YouTube.
Yes something that you have installed is causing the Android System to run for extended periods.
I would first try, disabling some apps in the settings menu, to see if that helps. (like throw, bluetooth, NFC, wifi, hotspot) see if any of those help
I would factory reset, and be very careful about what you install back onto the phone initially.
Or instead of reset try, clearing out all apps and re-install one by one untill you hit a bad one. If that does not work I guess reset.

In Settings>Power Management, there is a selection called "App power consumption". Have you checked there? There could be an app listed that drains the battery.
I had checked app power consumption, and unfortunately it didn't give me any further information. Better Battery Stats is also almost completely useless without root, but I did try it and saw Performance Manager or something to that effect was what was keeping it awake (in Kernel Wakelocks). I ended up doing a factory reset, and it seems like it's working fine now with the same combination of apps.
I think I disabled something I shouldn't have using pm block (package), since after some searching it seems like the phone might have been constantly searching for a blocked package, keeping it awake. It's working fine now, thanks everyone for your suggestions!
Soo! again with another battery post..
Okay i followed some rules someone helped me with the other day in regards to resetting the whole phone and updating it, which i did and the battery was fixed! now untill about 2pm to day my phone was lasting all day i mean since 8am it went from 100% to around 70% and said i had like atleast 1 day with stamina mode on..
Now its at 65% its telling me i have 4 hours remaining without stamina mode and now 11 hours with stamina mode..
Can someone explain why to me? i mean i don't think i have loads of things on that are heavy on battery life.
have you looked at the battery stats to see whats eating the battery?

Mainly the screen, i noticed tho soon as i had to use my phone to be a satnav on google maps it enabled high active location settings, but after i finished i turn the location settings back to battery saver mode so i cant see why it hasn't changed the battery daily span, i mean the screen is the biggest consumer at 29% then snapchat at 15% then some more social media but there below 14%
gps and using it as a sat nav will use the battery quite a bit as the screen is always on, try turning the brightness down
I just, cleared the date and cache on my stamina mode and reset the phone and it seems to have fixed it, i will apparently get 4 days and 11 hours out of my stamina mode now on 96% battery. i have adaptive brightness on tho btw, so i'll just turn it off and lower my screen too

There is a bug in the Stamina Mode statistics. They will only work for the first day and then start showing the wrong time remaining, but don't worry about it. Although the time remaining is wrong, Stamina mode should still be working. You can test this by allowing the phone to sleep for 30min when connected to wifi and then wake the phone to see if wifi is still enabled. If the wifi icon is not showing, but then pops up shortly after waking the phone, then Stamina Mode is working.
Hi, I have a galaxy s6 Sm-g920X (live demo unit). It auto updated to version 5.1.1 and since that time it isn't charging past 70% help!
Furthermore, if I turn it off and plug it in, it will turn on automatically! I can't make it stay off when plugged in.
Side question: How can I disable annoying low battery power notification when it reaches 15%?

Hi, the battery not charging fully has happened with a few people online and the fix has been similar. Wipe the Cache through recovery mode options, then let the battery run to the point where the phone shuts off. Then try charging and see if it goes past 70%
Not sure about the other problems hopefully someone can help you with them
Will wiping cache affect my apps, like control settings for Modern Combat 5 etc?
Thanks!
I should also have noted that I am not using an original charger. Could that damage the phone/battery?

As far I know nope, wiping cache is different from clearing individual app caches, and it won't lead to any loss of personal data or settings (including app setting)
And nope all charger leads that fit and charge your phone should be efficient and not cause any damage, I've not always used an S6 lead for my Galaxy
Wiping cache did NOT solve the problem.
Any other solutions?
Help!!
Wiping cache and dalvik... then let de battery go to 0% and turn of the Fino alone, the charge and see what happens.

Hello, I have the same problem with galaxy s6 g920x. How do I wipe Dalvik?
what is Fino?
thank you
Download a program called "Battery Calibrator"
You may need root, this should fix your problem (Just run it, and drain your battery normally)
Did it work?

Not sure but isn't battery saver off when plugged into charger...if u haven't tried yet change setting while on charger??
Just did what you said and it still activated , it seems that for some reason it's not activating at 15% it just go straight to battery saver mode

I'm at loss. If its causing real problem could Google Sync-Backup what u can...contacts, photos, media and do a factory reset.
I have had a battery drain for several weeks now. It isn't to severe but the biggest issue bothering me the most is at night it is draining about 5-6% even with battery saver turned on. It used to be that in normal mode, the battery would only drop 2-3% over night. I do not charge at night.
I am fully updated and I even reset the phone to factory 2 days ago and the issue still persists. Nothing seems to stand out in the battery stats with regards to apps sucking battery %. So I think this is an issue where it is not going into Doze or Deep Doze but I dont know how to determine that.
Any suggestions how to find the problem?
(on android 10)
When you wake up in the morning...
Go into "Settings"
Then "Battery"
Then click the top right three dots
Then select "Battery Usage"
It should show you which apps used the most battery during the night.

I have done that. No apps appear to be doing anything unusual. There are no battery hogs showing up. Not even excessive google services usage or anything. That is why I think this may be a situation where it isn't going into doze or deep doze like it used to but I dont know how to check or monitor that. that info doesn't show in battery stats.
I never heard of this doze/deep doze mode - where did you see this?
I ask because I typically get 10% loss overnight with what I thought was very good because the pixel often then calculates I have 2 days of remaining battery life with that stat.

You can google it as there are tons of articles about it but here is some insight into it from the developer side: https://bignerdranch.com/blog/diving-into-doze-mode-for-developers/
OK, so it says in order to go into deep-doze, the phone:
1) Must not be charging
2) The screen is off
3) The phone is not moving
So, during the night, are all three of these conditions met?
Also, the device will come out of deep-doze if an incoming push notification is received - could one of your apps be receiving push notifications during the night?
Also, "Any process using a foreground service is exempt from Doze Mode effects, which is key for long-running applications"...do you possibly have any apps that have a foreground service?
Have you tried to switch off Bluetooth, it has a huge impact on battery even if not in use.
I've used apps before. Can't remember but gsam might be one...
It's possible to identify apps that are holding wake locks. That's the first place to check for battery drain.

all the apps I can find to track wake locks seem to need ROOT. I'd rather not do that as then I lose OTA updates.
After some extreme disabling of user app, system apps, services, etc. I finally got back to 3% battery drop overnight. I'm not sure which one was the culprit yet but i'll start enabling things as I need them and keep monitoring.
I'm having heavy battery drain. I already charged to 100 and less to 30 minutes i lost 10%.
It began since last update on my case.
After you see a big drain, DON'T plug in and...
Go into "Settings"
Then "Battery"
Then click the top right three dots
Then select "Battery Usage"
It should show you which apps are to blame for the drain.

Gsam needs permissions but these can be set with USB debugging, no root needed.
So one thing I have learned is that it appears every time I reboot, gsam thinks my wifi is on even though I have it off. If i turn it on and then back off. Gsam now says wifi is off.
So i got through the night at 3% battery drain but now I am realizing that my phone will not go into deep sleep during the day. Any suggestions how to fix that?
According to the details in the link posted earlier, it will never go into deep sleep if the phone is moving.

I leave my phone sitting on a desk all day. There has to be some Android services that only operate during the day but i can't dtermine what those might be.

Was gsam able to identify which app was holding a wake lock?
Or maybe triggering frequent wakeups?
Both of those would prevent doze...
Battery Guru is good for chasing drains (with ADBs), add BBS + adbs and you can find anything using them together!

Google play services mostly. There was a large amount from "Adaptive connectiviy" but when I disabled that those went away.
